Mark Allen was in superb form to ease through to the third round of the Welsh Open.

The Antrim man beat Thailand’s Boonyarit Keattikun 4-1 last night and now faces China’s Mei Xi Wen.

However, despite racing into a three-frame lead, defending champion Ronnie O’Sullivan is out of the competition after losing 4-3 to Mark Davis.

Schoolboy Jackson Page has also reached the last 32.

The 15-year-old Welsh boy beat John Astley 4-3.
